Spiritual Wisdom of the Body
Our Sacred Body
The Mystical Union of Body and Soul
Recording Only.
This event took place on February 26 & 27
The Importance of Your Body on the Spiritual Path
The sense of separation between spirit and our body is very common, both in our cultures and in many spiritual traditions. We are often taught that the body is merely a container of the soul and something to be transcended on the spiritual path. From this view the spiritual realm is seen as somehow separate from the physical and the body as something other than a form of spiritual consciousness.
On Saturday and Sunday, February 26 and 27, Diamond Approach teacher, Linda Krier, will challenge this perspective by offering an alternate view: that not only is our physicality in a kind of mystical union with our soul, it is a living form of consciousness that is beingness itself.
In this two-day program, we will explore how expanding our view of our bodies provides an opportunity for an enlightenment of the body that actually serves our spiritual development and eases the pain of this perceived separation. As Linda says in this video, “We’ve only begun to touch the possibilities of what life in a physical body can be.”
“Our body actually serves the development of our soul, but also expresses our realization in very specific ways that are part of completing the spiritual journey.”
During our time together, we will...
Explore the nature of the relationship between spirituality and the body and realize that the split between body and spirituality is actually painful for us
Learn how our body is formed by our history, creating patterns of tension that leave us with mistaken beliefs about who we really are
Engage in practices that help us become aware of and dissolve those tension patterns to reveal the truth of our being
Discover that as these barriers are understood and metabolized, we can experience healing of that inner separation, a sense of love for our bodies, and a rich, new way of being physical in the world
See how appreciating the sacredness of our own physicality makes it impossible not to recognize that preciousness in another, something that's very much needed these days

FAQ
What is the Ridhwan School?
“Ridhwan” is a Sufi word. It means “satisfied and satisfying.” Our school, home to more than 4,000 students across the globe, has the potential to both help you to be fulfilled and to help others be fulfilled. Students learn to ground, sensitize, recognize, and trust the inherent guidance of Being.
What is the Diamond Approach?
The Diamond Approach is the core teaching of the Ridhwan School, a spiritual path that approaches our ordinary experiences, emotions, and sensations in a friendly way of understanding. This radical acceptance of our situation allows something to come through that puts us in touch with our spirituality.
In the Diamond Approach, everything we experience is utilized as a doorway to our spiritual nature. Rather than negating or seeking to transcend parts of our humanness that are considered barriers to realization, we learn to approach each aspect of our physical, emotional, and mental experience with acceptance and open curiosity to discover its truth. We do meditation and other exercises, but the main method is Diamond Inquiry™: non-judgment of what we’re experiencing, which brings crisp clarity into one’s own truth.
